Deliziosa Bistro, Dearborn

Deliziosa Bistro has a signature dish: the Deliziosa's pasta, which dresses penne and vegetables in a housemade pesto-cream sauce. But it's best known for its overall signature approach to food, which informs all of its lunch and dinner dishes. Pasta with fresh toppings, hearty steaks, and expertly seared salmon form the core of the Mediterranean-influenced menu, while sandwiches offer casual options for lunchtime visitors. The fare is gourmet but never fussy, with even the appetizers, such as bruschetta, showcasing simple, herbaceous, vine-ripened flavors.
